Time flies! It has been way too long since I have posted anything on the blog part of my website, but rest assured that I have been very busy in the meantime. Just browse through my CV and you will quickly identify a lot of activities with 2016 and 2017 on them.

Long story short, as of August 2017, I am now Associate Professor in Problem-Based Learning and Engineering Education at Aalborg University Esbjerg, Department of Planning (aka PLAN). The position is so far fixed-term for three years, but I am very happy and excited about the tasks ahead. Although my research will now be focused more on the problem-based learning processes of the Engineering students I teach (in the course Problem-Based Learning in Science, Technology and Society), I still consider myself a “musicking” person (to borrow a term from the late Christopher Small): I will always be engaging with music at some level, whether as a performer, listener, reviewer or thinker, and I will do my best to let this website reflect that. When I will be able to continue work on my other blog project, Just for the Record (see the tab above), I do not know for sure. Best not to promise anything, but just know that I have not abandoned the project, although it has been a while since my last post there as well.

With respect to the long-abandoned “Art-Wise” tab, I hope I can manage to upload some new(er) or not previously shown artworks in a not too distant future. We’ll see.

The image for this blog post has nothing to do with any of what I just wrote, apart from being the latest not-too-informal photo of me. It was taken for inclusion in the program for the conference Extreme Music: Hearing and Nothingness, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, December 1-2, 2016, where I did a talk about complexity in the music of Devin Townsend. I hope I can find the time to polish the content of that talk and transform it into something you can read.
